Apple Tablet rumors just got more legit as the Wall Street Journal reported (via unnamed sources) that Apple (AAPL) will reveal a “multimedia tablet device” this month, with a projected ship date of March.
Here’s more from the article: “people briefed on the matter said the new tablet device will come with a 10- to 11-inch touch screen. An Apple spokesman said the company doesn’t comment on rumors and speculation … Analysts currently believe an Apple tablet will be priced at about $1,000, possibly including a subscription to a nationwide Wi-Fi wireless service.”
Some speculate that the new device will be called iSlate (or in other circles, The Unicorn). The last set of rumors about the tablet predicted a January 2010 release date and a possible 30/70 split with publishers who build content for the new device.
